Biofuels

The New York Times reports that Tyson Foods and ConocoPhillips are forming a partnership that will produce biodiesel out of pork, chicken and beef fat. The reporter sees this is another sign that agribusiness and farmers will be playing an increasingly important role in the nation's development of alternative energy sources. This sounds like it will be a mega-income producing venture for farmers. Does it also mean reduced Federal agricultural subsidies?
BP has a partnership with DuPont, working on biofuels and Chevron has a research allilance with the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop cellulosic fuels.
